Wall Street Journal Cyprus Sabotage By MORTON ABRAMOWITZ and HENRI BARKEY Turkey's political turnaround should not be hurt by the Cyprus issue. While making clear that he intends to negotiate a Cyprus resolution on the basis of a bizonal, bicommunal federation, he should hold firm on not opening the ports. If Mr. Papadopoulos and EU are not ready for real negotiations, Mr. Erdogan might announce that Turkey has no choice but to plan for a long period of nonsolution. His options include a serious economic development program to strengthen the Turkish side of the island. Mr. Erdogan could also make a determined effort to use his political capital in the Muslim world to gain recognition for Northern Cyprus. The nuclear option for Mr. Erdogan is a referendum on the future status of the Turkish Cyprus, with choices including independence or becoming part of Turkey. Only such a challenge -- that the northern half of the island could be lost forever -- may prompt the Greek Cypriots to listen to resume negotiations in good faith.
